[male presenter on TV] Hello,
and welcome to Telethon Tuneup.

Now there's lots to tell you
about in the program.

But right now
I'm waiting for a bus.

In fact, this is the bus now.
25
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,375
I suppose it looks a fairly
ordinary kind of bus to you,
26
00:02:59,458 --> 00:03:03,083
but believe you me,
this bus is pretty special,
27
00:03:03,166 --> 00:03:07,250
because inside it's got fun
and sun - for Telefun.

Not bad, eh? Here we go.

Better than a psychiatric ward,
I suppose.
72

Theoretically.
I need a drink.

Do you have a drink,
a proper drink?

No, that's one of the reasons
I was on the psychiatric ward.

- I can offer you herbal teas.
- Don't be absurd.

You know, you might
at least open a window,

She thinks there might be more
to life than going to parties.

00:06:01,834 --> 00:06:05,583
[scoffs] Yes, I always thought
she was a little peculiar.

- Where is she?
- As far as I'm aware
83
00:06:06,917 --> 00:06:10,417
she's driving a consignment
of 10,000 syringes to Poland.

Everyone says
it's marvelous of her,

00:06:12,291 --> 00:06:15,083
but I still think charity
begins at home.
86
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:17,125
I wish she'd bring them
round here.
87
00:06:17,208 --> 00:06:20,875
I thought you'd er...
put all that behind you.

Behind me, in front of me.
89

You're very melodramatic today.

Yes, well, I've realized
I've given up everything
91
00:06:27,625 --> 00:06:30,083
- and taken up nothing.
- You've taken up the law.
92
00:06:30,166 --> 00:06:31,542
You're going to
"work for a living".

00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:32,834
Yes, that's the intention.
94
00:06:32,917 --> 00:06:34,959
In fact, it's a necessity now
with the medical bills.

- That's enough. Sit down.

- I beg your pardon?
- Sit down.

- But the fear is, Nicholas,
103
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,834
- that I might drown.
- Nonsense.
104
00:07:01,917 --> 00:07:04,291
Pull yourself together,
find something to wear,
105
00:07:04,375 --> 00:07:07,667
and if you must talk about life,
you can do so at the party.

00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:08,917
I'm sure someone
will listen to you.

That's why

I had them specially made.

back in the swing of things.

Is he coming?
Tell him he has to come!

Sorry, are you with someone?

Pratt, but perhaps he's right.

Well, look, can you help me?
Can you come? Can you drive us?
168
00:10:02,458 --> 00:10:04,709
Yeah, of course, but I have
to go to my meeting first.
169
00:10:04,792 --> 00:10:07,000
What meeting?
Oh, that meeting.
170
00:10:07,083 --> 00:10:08,750
I don't know how you
put up with those things.
171
00:10:08,834 --> 00:10:10,750
Isn't it full of

that the number
of guests at a dinner
444

should be more than the Graces,
but less than the Muses.

extraordinary.

it was so easy.

than here?
466
00:27:24,291 --> 00:27:27,208
Almost anywhere.
467
00:27:27,291 --> 00:27:31,208
Except if I wasn't here, this is
the only place I'd want to be.
468
00:27:31,291 --> 00:27:34,333
So...how do you manage?
469

- To avoid disappointment?
470
00:27:40,166 --> 00:27:42,333
It's impossible.

But arrived where?

What is this? Venison?

in this murky sauce.

Yes, it is venison. I'm
awfully sorry about the sauce.

The sauce has been a disaster,
Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
495
00:29:01,125 --> 00:29:03,291
There's no need for you
to apologize.
496

- Look, another one.
- Jacques--

something unpardonable.

Ma'am, let me help you.

No. He spilt it.
He should wipe it up!
500
00:29:12,917 --> 00:29:14,333
- Yes.
- In fact, one feels
501
00:29:14,417 --> 00:29:15,542
he could have had a great career
502
00:29:15,625 --> 00:29:18,166

been blown off course.

- Allez, Jacques, that's enough.
504

There's another spot there.
Wipe it up!
505
00:29:22,542 --> 00:29:25,667
C'est insupportable!
506
00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:28,041
What is "insupportable"
is being showered

00:29:28,125 --> 00:29:29,667
with this revolting sauce!
508
00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:32,375
I needn't remind you
that your husband

00:30:00,625 --> 00:30:03,500
Silence.
I don't approve of silences!
513
00:30:03,583 --> 00:30:05,083
[Sonny clears throat]
514
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:09,291
I get fallow deer sent to me
from Richmond Park.
515
00:30:09,375 --> 00:30:10,500
You have to be on the list.
516
00:30:10,583 --> 00:30:14,500
The Queen said to me, "Put
yourself on the list." So I did.
517
00:30:14,583 --> 00:30:16,417
[Sonny] How very sensible,
Ma'am.
518
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:18,792
What I admire about
Princess Margaret
519
00:30:18,875 --> 00:30:21,583
is the way she puts
everyone at their ease.
520
00:30:23,041 --> 00:30:25,041
Are you alright?
521
00:30:25,125 --> 00:30:27,125
[low conversations]
522
00:30:29,166 --> 00:30:30,542
Putain de merde!
523
00:30:30,625 --> 00:30:33,500
[continues in French]
524
00:30:39,583 --> 00:30:41,166
Hello, little girl.
525
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:44,917
Who are you?
526
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:46,583
I'm Belinda.
527
00:30:46,667 --> 00:30:49,667
Is Princess Margaret in there?
528
00:30:50,750 --> 00:30:53,125
Remind me, Sonny,
do you have any children?
529
00:30:53,208 --> 00:30:55,625
Yes, indeed, Ma'am.
A daughter, seven years old.
530
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:59,208
No male heir, then?
531
00:30:59,291 --> 00:31:01,917
Even so, I'm very fond of her.
532
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,291
Of course, in many ways
I feel responsible.
533
00:31:04,375 --> 00:31:06,375
It was I, after all,
who introduced
534
00:31:06,458 --> 00:31:08,917
the humble Miss Watson-Scott,
as she then was,
535
00:31:09,166 --> 00:31:12,750
to the beau monde
at your dear father's house.
536
00:31:12,834 --> 00:31:13,792
Who knew then
she was destined to command
537
00:31:13,875 --> 00:31:17,625
- the heights of society?
- Hm.
538
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:20,583
You're very lucky, you know,
a reprobate like you,
539
00:31:20,667 --> 00:31:22,625
to be invited to
this glittering occasion.
540
00:31:22,709 --> 00:31:25,125
I'm eternally grateful.
541
00:31:25,208 --> 00:31:27,625
- How are you managing?
- Dying for a drink.
542
00:31:28,792 --> 00:31:33,333
Well, this is quite delicious,
you have my sympathy.
543
00:31:33,417 --> 00:31:34,792
[chuckles]
I've never been a heroin addict
544
00:31:34,875 --> 00:31:37,333
but I did have
to give up cigarettes,
545
00:31:37,417 --> 00:31:39,709
- which was quite hard enough.
- Oh, dear.
546
00:31:39,792 --> 00:31:42,333
- Do you think someone--
- Will you excuse me a moment?
547
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:48,375
Are you looking for someone?
548
00:31:48,458 --> 00:31:51,667
I wanted to meet
Princess Margaret.
549
00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:53,458
I see.
550
00:31:53,542 --> 00:31:57,291
Well, I think you'd be
better off without, believe me.
551
00:31:57,375 --> 00:31:59,375
Why don't we ask
your mother to come over?
552
00:31:59,458 --> 00:32:01,542
Oh, look. There's a little
person who can't sleep.
553
00:32:01,625 --> 00:32:03,333
[some laughter]
554
00:32:03,417 --> 00:32:04,834
Who is that?
555
00:32:04,917 --> 00:32:07,208
I'm afraid it's my daughter,
Ma'am.
556
00:32:07,291 --> 00:32:10,917
- She should be in bed.
- Thank you, Patrick.
557
00:32:11,166 --> 00:32:13,792
Darling, what are you doing up?
This is a dinner for grown-ups.
558
00:32:14,041 --> 00:32:16,500
- Which one's Princess Margaret?
- Yes.
559
00:32:16,583 --> 00:32:19,458
Why don't you get your mother
to present you to her?
560
00:32:19,542 --> 00:32:21,000
Will you, Mummy? Please?
561
00:32:21,083 --> 00:32:23,333
Are you involved in politics?
For my own part,
562
00:32:23,417 --> 00:32:25,333
I don't mind who's in government
if they're good at governing.
563
00:32:25,417 --> 00:32:29,625
What we must avoid at all costs
is these windscreen wipers:
564
00:32:29,709 --> 00:32:32,458
left, right, left, right...
565
00:32:32,542 --> 00:32:34,000
- Ma'am, I'd like to introduce--
- Not now.
566
00:32:34,250 --> 00:32:37,333
She should be in bed.
She'll only get over-excited.
567
00:32:37,417 --> 00:32:40,375
[Sonny] Quite right. Honestly,
darling, how did she escape?
568
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,667
Go on.
569
00:32:43,291 --> 00:32:45,959
[Sonny] Now, I really think it's
about time we joined the others.
570
00:32:46,041 --> 00:32:48,000
[Princess Margaret]
Oh, must we?
571
00:32:48,083 --> 00:32:50,792
We've been having
such a cozy time.
572
00:32:50,875 --> 00:32:53,875
I do so hate big parties.
573
00:32:54,125 --> 00:32:58,166
So do I.
It was all my wife's idea.

Oh. Anything for Sonny.
Try to avoid Bridget, though.

- George!

I'm sitting here because I
can't hear anything otherwise.

I thought people
were supposed to lead lives
598

- of quiet desperation.
- Not quiet enough.
599
00:34:31,959 --> 00:34:37,291
Now. Have you found something
that you enjoy doing?
600
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:40,458
Yes, but sadly
I've had to give that up.
601
00:34:40,542 --> 00:34:42,458
Then you're guilty
of the greatest sin of all.
602
00:34:42,542 --> 00:34:45,333
- Am I?
- Wasting time.
603
00:34:45,417 --> 00:34:46,917
You must make a contribution.
604
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,291
No man is an island,
605
00:34:48,375 --> 00:34:49,917
though there are a surprising
number here who own one.
606
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,959
And not just in Scotland.
607
00:34:53,583 --> 00:34:55,583
Though, of course you're right.
608
00:34:56,583 --> 00:34:58,875
My father once said to me:
609
00:34:58,959 --> 00:35:02,041
[as David]
"If you have a talent, use it.
610
00:35:02,125 --> 00:35:05,333
Or you'll be miserable
all your life."
611
00:35:06,041 --> 00:35:08,458
It was just about the only
non-hostile remark he ever made.
612
00:35:08,542 --> 00:35:13,834
He was a very brilliant man,
but he was never happy, I think.
613
00:35:13,917 --> 00:35:17,834
Yes, well...I hardly
ever think of him these days.
614
00:35:17,917 --> 00:35:22,375
He would've hated you to make
the same mistakes, Patrick.
615
00:35:23,917 --> 00:35:27,041
No more wasted time.
616
00:35:31,625 --> 00:35:33,792
I...I must...go and find my...
617
00:35:33,875 --> 00:35:37,208

You look lovely.
621
00:35:49,333 --> 00:35:51,625
But then
you always did at parties.
622
00:35:51,709 --> 00:35:53,041
I'm surprised you remember.
623
00:35:53,125 --> 00:35:54,917
You were either upstairs
in bed with someone else,
624
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,709
or passed out in the loo.
625
00:35:56,792 --> 00:35:58,375
Yes, that's actually something
I wanted to talk to you about.
626
00:35:58,458 --> 00:36:01,083
I don't think I was
terribly nice to you and I--
627
00:36:01,166 --> 00:36:04,041
I know this one. This is
a 12-step thing, isn't it?
628
00:36:04,125 --> 00:36:06,959
I'm part of your
"moral inventory".
629
00:36:07,041 --> 00:36:09,333
- No, I just--
- Will you excuse me?
630
00:36:09,417 --> 00:36:11,917
David, Cindy!
631
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,417
Cindy. You made it!
632
00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:16,041
- Happy birthday, darling.
- [laughs]
633
00:36:16,125 --> 00:36:19,291
Sonny, are you sure
this is all above board?
634
00:36:19,375 --> 00:36:22,291
Bridget just gave me
the most terrible scowling look.
635
00:36:22,375 --> 00:36:23,917
Just stick to the story.
636
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,500
You met Cindy,
your wife couldn't come,
637
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:27,834
asked her instead, didn't check
- it's nothing to do with me.
638
00:36:27,917 --> 00:36:29,417
Right. So, erm...
639
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:33,959
I met Cindy, wife couldn't come,
asked Cindy instead...
640
00:36:38,750 --> 00:36:41,583
- Hello, you.
- Happy birthday, darling.
641
00:36:43,125 --> 00:36:44,000
- Oh. [chuckles]
- So glad you're here.
642
00:36:44,083 --> 00:36:46,417
It's the best birthday present--
643
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:47,917
What I find with beautiful women
644
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,875
is that after one's
waited around for ages,
645
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,125
they all arrive at once, like
buses are supposed to do.
646
00:36:55,208 --> 00:36:58,333
Not that I've ever waited
around for a bus.
647
00:36:58,417 --> 00:37:00,041
Look at Princess Margaret.
648
00:37:00,125 --> 00:37:02,333
One has to be careful
not to trip over her.
649
00:37:02,417 --> 00:37:03,625
That was quite a scene.
650
00:37:03,709 --> 00:37:07,083
Mm. Yes, I do admire P.M.
651
00:37:07,166 --> 00:37:10,333
She has something of
your father's joie-de-vivre.
652
00:37:10,417 --> 00:37:12,333
- Imagine if they'd met!
- Imagine.
653
00:37:12,417 --> 00:37:14,667
The way she used
a minor accident
654
00:37:14,750 --> 00:37:18,041
to screw maximum humiliation
out of the Ambassador.
655
00:37:19,041 --> 00:37:21,458
Of course I'm absolutely
devoted to his wife, who,
656
00:37:21,542 --> 00:37:26,709
behind that phoney chic,
is a genuinely malicious person.
657
00:37:26,792 --> 00:37:29,333
- And here they are!
- Will you excuse me?
658
00:37:29,417 --> 00:37:31,709
I must go and talk
to our hostess.
659
00:37:32,542 --> 00:37:34,917
I hope we didn't drive
away your young friend.
660
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,625
- He seemed very nervous.
- Oh, we can get on without him.
661
00:37:37,709 --> 00:37:40,875
Mon cher Jacques, I thought
you were absolutely brilliant,
662
00:37:40,959 --> 00:37:43,291
the way you handled
that tiresome woman.
663
00:37:43,542 --> 00:37:46,542
Thank you, but I feel the royal
presence bearing down on us.
664
00:37:46,625 --> 00:37:49,667
Maybe we could explore
the depths of the party.
665
00:37:49,750 --> 00:37:52,375
My dear fellow,
you are the depths of the party.
666
00:37:52,458 --> 00:37:54,000
- [laughter]
- Au revoir!
667
00:37:54,083 --> 00:37:54,875
A tout à l'heure.
668
00:37:54,959 --> 00:37:57,583
Consorting with the enemy?
669
00:37:57,667 --> 00:37:59,375
They came to me
for sympathy, Ma'am.
670
00:37:59,458 --> 00:38:01,875
I told them they'd come
to the wrong place!
671
00:38:01,959 --> 00:38:05,500
He's a clumsy fool,
and as to his absurd wife...
672
00:38:05,583 --> 00:38:08,667
Hello, there!
Isn't this a lovely party?
673
00:38:08,959 --> 00:38:11,041
Ma'am.
674
00:38:11,125 --> 00:38:13,875
I'll come and find you later,
alright?
675
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,750
Oh. Yes.
676
00:38:18,625 --> 00:38:20,709
- Who was that?
- My daughter.
677
00:38:21,583 --> 00:38:26,542
Now, where was I?
I've quite lost my flow...
678
00:38:27,041 --> 00:38:28,417
The main thing I remember,
679
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:30,875
apart from
your poisonous father,
680
00:38:30,959 --> 00:38:33,166
was that beautiful house.
681
00:38:33,417 --> 00:38:34,709
Nothing compared to all of this.
682
00:38:34,792 --> 00:38:36,041

Yes,
it's funny how things turn out.

It's all lovely, I just wish it
wasn't full of such awful shits.

Not you, of course.
Or Mummy.

687
00:38:48,750 --> 00:38:51,917
incredibly cool to me,
unlike my parents' usual crowd.
688
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:52,583
And kinder too.

Kind?

00:38:54,792 --> 00:38:57,583
You're sure you're not confusing
me with someone else?
691
00:38:57,667 --> 00:39:00,041
You wouldn't be an angel
and talk to her for a second?
692
00:39:00,125 --> 00:39:02,709

- Oh.

I just wanted to clarify:
698
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:21,625
I met Cindy,
my wife couldn't come, so...
699
00:39:25,125 --> 00:39:28,083
[Sonny] ..starts to show.
May I touch it?
700
00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:31,625
[Cindy] Oh, Sonny.
There's nothing to touch.
701

I just saw Cindy Smith

You know,
I frightfully dislike this bit.

Yes, sorry, I...
I just thought I...

Let's go here.
726
00:40:57,041 --> 00:40:58,375
I thought I'd save you
from our host.

Oh! There's an air
of palpable stupidity

- [Sonny] No.

My God, look at them all.

I remember these people

00:41:20,792 --> 00:41:24,500
The last people to believe
class is a total explanation.

Let's get out of here.
Come on.

Johnny, Patrick,
this is my husband.

- This is Angus.
- Quite a party.

745
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,000
My husband is obsessed
with how much everything costs.

Why don't you get me a drink?
They're free.
747
00:41:53,291 --> 00:41:55,125
- Johnny will help you.
- Actually,
748
00:41:55,208 --> 00:41:57,625
- Johnny and I were just
about to--
- [Angus] Come on!

- Come on, then. [laughs]

He looked so good on paper
751
00:42:02,166 --> 00:42:04,750
but he's completely obsessed
with whether a cheap-day return
752
00:42:04,834 --> 00:42:07,250
is refundable if you don't
use the second half.

Shall we go exploring?
It's very good to see you again.
755
00:42:14,625 --> 00:42:16,542
I thought perhaps
you'd been avoiding me.
756
00:42:16,625 --> 00:42:19,709
- As a bad influence.
- Not you. The world.
757
00:42:20,667 --> 00:42:22,750
Well... You're here now.
758
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:27,166
Perhaps we can liven up
this dreary party.
759
00:42:27,250 --> 00:42:30,792
You certainly have to kick a lot
of bodies to find a live one.

that's against the rules now.

- I think technically, yes.
763
00:42:37,458 --> 00:42:40,333
Christ, why are you all so dull?
764
00:42:41,542 --> 00:42:43,917
Men used to talk to me about how
they used butter for sex.
765
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,083
Now they tell me how they've
eliminated it from their diet.

Look, there's Debbie.
Doesn't she look beautiful?

00:42:53,542 --> 00:42:55,500
[Patrick] Very.
768
00:42:56,291 --> 00:42:58,291
I suppose
I'd better go and find Johnny.
769
00:42:58,375 --> 00:43:01,291
- We could always go upstairs.
- Upstairs. What for?
770
00:43:01,375 --> 00:43:04,458
For sex. No strings.
771
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:09,667
Well,
I suppose it's something to do.
772
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:12,375
- Thank you.
- No, no, I'm very keen.
773

00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:43,792

00:43:43,875 --> 00:43:44,667
[Sonny] Please talk about this
in the morning.
780
00:43:44,750 --> 00:43:47,375
[Bridget] We
will talk about it now!
781
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:49,583
[Sonny] Our guests are
beginning to wonder where we--
782
00:43:49,667 --> 00:43:51,375
[Bridget] I don't care about
your fucking guests!
783
00:43:51,458 --> 00:43:54,667
Tell me, is it the first time...
784
00:43:55,375 --> 00:43:56,917
You must have heard.
785
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,500
- About the affair?
- Oh, it gets better.

with a precious boy-child.

heir he's going to make Cindy
788
00:44:05,291 --> 00:44:07,917
- next Countess of Gravesend.
- Poor Bridget.

- Well, you don't have to laugh.
791
00:44:13,208 --> 00:44:16,333
Oh, don't be so pious.
Serves her right.
792
00:44:16,417 --> 00:44:17,875
- What for?
- You know what for.
793
00:44:17,959 --> 00:44:22,375
All that climbing.
No wonder she looks so tired.
794
00:44:22,458 --> 00:44:25,125
You know, I have my reservations
about your character.
795
00:44:25,208 --> 00:44:27,542
- Me too. Quick - let's go.
- Did you fuck her here?

00:44:27,625 --> 00:44:31,625
No! Yes, yes, alright,
but not in our bedroom!

to steal me back.

I think I'd prefer to
remain friends with Johnny.

Really?

00:45:30,542 --> 00:45:33,125
I just don't want
any more irony and tension.
816
00:45:33,208 --> 00:45:35,458
But you love irony and tension!
817
00:45:35,542 --> 00:45:38,041
I think you imagine
everyone else is just like you.
818
00:45:38,125 --> 00:45:39,625
Fuck off, Patrick.
819
00:45:39,709 --> 00:45:42,375

better go down, don't you?

Where have you been?
832
00:46:55,166 --> 00:46:58,458
Nowhere. I wonder -
can we find somewhere to talk?
833
00:46:58,542 --> 00:47:01,500
- Yeah.
- Sorry.
834
00:47:02,875 --> 00:47:04,041
I told you there's something
835
00:47:04,125 --> 00:47:06,500
I've never said out loud
and never would.
836
00:47:06,583 --> 00:47:08,792
And now I'm going to.
837
00:47:09,041 --> 00:47:11,166
Forgive my inarticulacy,
it's not that I'm embarrassed,
838
00:47:11,250 --> 00:47:14,542
it's just... I don't want it
to be a burden for you.
839
00:47:14,625 --> 00:47:16,125
- Just go ahead.
- [inhales]
840
00:47:17,375 --> 00:47:18,583
So.
841
00:47:18,667 --> 00:47:21,583
I've told you about my parents'
drunkenness and the violence,
842
00:47:21,667 --> 00:47:23,291
but what I was skirting around--
843
00:47:23,375 --> 00:47:25,500
- Not now.
- No, thank you.
844
00:47:25,583 --> 00:47:27,125
Just to let you know
the fireworks

- Thank you.

When I was eight,
and for some years afterwards

00:47:40,667 --> 00:47:43,458
my father "abused" me

as...we're invited
to call it these days.
849
00:47:47,625 --> 00:47:48,458
What do you mean, "abused"?
850
00:47:48,542 --> 00:47:51,959
I... [exhales]
851
00:47:58,834 --> 00:48:00,917

- The fireworks are about--
855

Do you think you could leave us
alone for one fucking minute
856
00:48:18,208 --> 00:48:20,750
- so we can have a conversation?
- I'm sorry, sir.
857
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,125
Do we look like children?
858

in the fucking fireworks?

00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:41,625
No wonder you hated him so much.
864
00:48:41,709 --> 00:48:44,667
Well, now you know.
865
00:48:49,333 --> 00:48:50,834
The first incident
masqueraded as a punishment,
866
00:48:50,917 --> 00:48:54,000
though I never knew the crime...
867
00:48:54,083 --> 00:48:58,041
which gave it a certain
Kafkaesque charm..
868
00:48:58,125 --> 00:48:59,709
What a bastard.
869
00:49:01,667 --> 00:49:03,208
It must have split
the world in half.

Yes, I think
that is what happened.

What makes you think that?
872
00:49:16,625 --> 00:49:19,625
It just seemed obvious.
873
00:49:26,208 --> 00:49:28,041
In that moment,
when it was happening -
874
00:49:28,125 --> 00:49:30,792
this will sound strange, but...
875
00:49:33,291 --> 00:49:36,333
..there was a lizard
on the wall.
876
00:49:36,417 --> 00:49:38,375
A gecko, bright green.
877
00:49:40,625 --> 00:49:43,458
I thought, "If I can
somehow put myself inside...
878
00:49:46,625 --> 00:49:49,208
..then I might be able
to get through this."
879
00:49:51,875 --> 00:49:54,542
Not much of an escape plan,
I know.

you'd like your old room back?

Oh, Mummy, I don't know.

when we get there?

sometimes.

that Nicholas Pratt man.

You were such a nice girl
until you met him,
902

and then you started
criticizing everything at home,

life - perfectly nice people.

- I'm not recruiting, I swear.
- Go on.
913
00:51:50,291 --> 00:51:56,166
Perhaps the only way to
move on is to become...
914
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:57,917
more detached from yourself...
915
00:51:58,917 --> 00:52:00,583

to something else.

Yeah. Why not?

Not sure that was love.

Even so, my experience of love:

00:52:19,792 --> 00:52:22,834
you get excited thinking someone
can mend your broken heart,

- [fireworks continue popping]
- But the next time.
926
00:52:26,667 --> 00:52:31,250
Hm. Of course, the other danger
is, without bitterness, spite,
927
00:52:31,333 --> 00:52:33,709
sarcasm, snobbery
and self-loathing,
928
00:52:33,792 --> 00:52:36,500
- there might be nothing left.
- Perhaps.
929
00:52:37,542 --> 00:52:41,834

put there instead.
